Lenny Breau dazzled me with his extraordinary guitar playing... I wish the world had the opportunity to experience his artistry.

The greatest guitar player in the world today for me is Paco de Lucia, who is actually Spanish.

I have been doing music all my life so everyday when I get up I expect music will be part of it.

I like Simon Cowell - look at how many great artists have come out of the U.K. because of him.

The less one remembers about the day before, the more the new day will be unfettered by triviality.

People who love jazz musicians love us when we play what we want to play and we're starving. But as soon as you commercialize your sound like Wes Montgomery did, the jazz fans and the critics are down on you!

My whole career from the early 70s on has been mind-blowing. I didn't imagine in my life that I would ever be considered a guitar player first of all because I started off as a singer.
